St. Thomas port day from icon of the seas - Liston and Jordan we're both super helpful. Best way to see St. Thomas in my opinion we got to see so much in our limited time coming off of the cruise ship.

Absolutely recommend Island Buggy Excursions. - Absolutely recommend Island Buggy Excursions. This is a wonderful way to expolre on your own! As it is a self guided tour, you can take your time and explore the island the way you want. You will recieve destinations via text on what to see in the area you are in and based on when you need to be back to your ship, if on a cruise. The buggies are a ton of fun and do great on the narrow mountain roads. We got off the ship and the buggy rentals are right in the port. John and Liston are super friendly, helpful and have great recommendations for the tourist hot spots and local hangouts. We will definitely be renting again on our next visit!

Great Day With the Buggy - It was great and easy to coordinate pick up. We loved being on our own schedule and not locked in and could explore the island at our own pace. The buggy's are cool and fit 4 adults including beach chairs and snorkle gear. Highly reccomend to anyone.

The Definitive Way to Experience St. Thomas! - I've gotta say, this might be the best shore excursion we've ever had! As soon as we'd booked, Liston reached out to make sure he had the right contact info. Once at the port, he was clear about where we'd meet up, which was just outside the port, and showed us everything we needed to get going. He then told us he'd be guiding us by text message, which is something I'd never experienced before and wasn't sure what to expect. Let me tell you, this has got to be the definitive way to experience a new place, especially in the Caribbean! Liston gave us spots to head to every time we were ready, and since we were by ourselves, we could do everything at our own pace. Really enjoying the view of some vista he recommended? We can just hang out and shoot him a text when we're ready for the next spot. Water is perfect and we want to swim for another 30 minutes? That's cool, we can just let Liston know when we're ready. We were able to check out most of the great spots around St Thomas thanks to Liston, and had an AMAZING lunch. That was another big pro to this approach to tour guiding. We let him know when we were starting to feel hungry and he made a recommendation based on where we were that was a truly local experience. This was a great way to experience St. Thomas, and I'd recommend this to anyone!

Best Way to Tour the Island - Great experience from the check in process to the communications throughout the excursion . Absolutely the best way to tour the island. We were unfamiliar with where to visit but this was made very easy with the self guided tour provided in the buggy. Interesting how many people along the way were taking pictures of this unique excursion.

Don’t hesitate! Book it! - Liston and Jordan are beyond amazing!! Both so extremely helpful and personable! You will not regret booking the island buggy for the day! They will take you to wherever you want to go with constant communication of where you’re going and perfect directions or they can give you favorite places to go on the island! The buggies are so nice. Clean, new and comfortable and just a fun way to enjoy a very full day in St. Thomas! Couldn’t recommend them more. One of our most favorite memories of st. Thomas and we’ve been there many times!
